Actually the later kernels have this restored already. And I can attest that it works.
Could you tell me either the version at which USBDEVFS was reinstated or the version you're running that has it (or both, if you know both and they're actually different). Alternately, can you tell me if kernel 2.6.18.8-0.3-bigsmp has it?
Thanks.

Just in case that complex question was directed at me:... I posted upthread somewhere the following: On my machine where Vmware detects usb devices properly it only started working after applying this kernel: Quote:................. Uname -ar reports: Linux gotroot 2.6.18.8-0.2-default #1 SMP Fri Mar 23 19:38:30 UTC 2007 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I also have this line in my /etc/fstab to make sure usb stuff gets loaded at boot time: usbfs /proc/bus/usb usbfs rw,devgid=100,devmode=0640,busgid=100,busmode=0550,listgid=100,listmode=0440 0 0 (above three lines are all one line) This kernel was produced by Andres Jaeger of SuSE while fixing a boot loader problem and he threw in the usbfs restoration as a side incentive to get people to test the boot loader. This is the directory at suse where this was installed from: ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/people/aj/10.2-bootloader-test Perhaps you can dredge up Andres email from the list and ask him about this. ------------end-quote So that's all I really know about it. Works for me after applying the kernel from the directory specified. Just added it as a repository. Apologies to to AJ for mangling the spelling of his name -- _____________________________________ John Andersen
